Re: Up date time!!!!!
Its louisiana in the summer time I put the heater off for another day lol. But the old motor was dead so I put a 355 in it with a flat tap cam and a bunch of head work. A set of used headders going in to true dual pipes with flowmaster 40s to help it breathe . I also had a set of flat top pistons that I threw in then had it all blanced and blue printed.

Re: Up date time!!!!!
And the total so far under 4500 including the truck, the advice I have gotten on here really helped me keep the price down. So big thanks to all the people on the board.

Re: Up date time!!!!!
Dude it looks great, I like seeing the DIY low budget builds just as much or more than the 35000 builds!!!! Seat looks good and the whole truck looks better!

Your truck looks great! How difficult was it to install that seat cover? How long did it take? I guess you had to take the seat out to do it...? |

Re: Up date time!!!!!
Here is a during picture for the seat the kit came with more hog rigs then they used on the factory one so you could get a really tight fit. But it took me about 2 hrs all said and done.
